“Wait. Sion is expecting us to be somewhere else. He might end up running into the army trying to find me “
“If he comes this way, my scouts will see him”
“His pack is in trouble. They are all being manipulated.” I glanced up to see Demetri’s l!ps pursed together.
“I was worried about that.” He finally said. l was planning to come and get you tonight once l found out the nycrops was involved.” I looked at him in shock. Okay, this guy… well fuzzy centaur dude.. really did know a lot. “Don’t worry… you’ll be able to help them, you just need some time.”
“I can help them?”
He smiled and nodded his head. “Yes.” That was all he said. He didn’t elaborate any more than that.
There is something about him. Sheena said as I felt her fluctuating in strength.
What is it?
I’m not sure but there is a bond between us.
I stared up at him curiously. He arched a brow as he continued to look forward as he ran. “Is there something on my face?”
“It’s weird that I just left with a complete stranger and how comfortable I feel with you..” I watched as his smile widened but he didn’t say anything. What was this? Some sort of mystery game, and I was a contestant?
“Aren’t you going to say anything?” He then chuckled.
That makes me happy to hear. It means you can feel our connection.
Okay, this weirded me out. What connection? I was getting ready to chastise him when I noticed the serious expression that washed over his face. His hooves pounded harder into the ground as he flew through the woods. He was already running fast but this was another level. The dirt kicked up behind him as the brush beat against him.
“Da.mn they really want you.” He held me closer and changed his direction slightly. I watched as he headed towards a lake. “We are going to get a little w*et,” he said moments before he plunged into the water. Very quickly the water was upto my neck. I listened to splashing sounds and saw several wolves treading water towards us. I looked up at Demetri, but he didn’t look worried at all. Suddenly, one by one, the wolves were yanked below the surface. Oh gosh, what was in the water?! And were we next?
“Don’t worry Clover. They are allies.. kelpies and some sirens?”
“Wait you are friends with kelpies and sirens?”
“My family has always been close with fairies.
You know centaurs belong to the fairy kingdom. My grandfather, Drake, is very close to the fairy queen.
He had the huts for her when he was younger.” He chuckled as he reached the share stepping out of the water. He moved up the bank and then took off at a run again.
“Damn.. we are going to have to go into hiding.”
I looked around, not seeing anything, but Demetri’s eyes had a slight glaze over them. A familiar look with those who are mind-linking. He then moved into thicker brush and then slowly walked up a shallow creek. I looked ahead of us at a rocky mound that he was heading towards. The large rock was covered in vines that he moved aside to reveal a dark tunnel.
“There is an underground path in here.” He said as the vines brushed over my head as he walked through. The tunnel was dark but luckily, I could see with my wolf sight. The sound of his hooves echoed slightly off the hard ground and cavernous walls. There was a soft trickling sound resonating in the tunnel as well.
“I had hoped they wouldn’t have figured out what you are. But it is obvious they know.”
I looked up at Demetri, whose brows were furrowed.
“Can you elaborate on the they and what exactly am I? Am I really a-“
“Sheya. Yes, you are part sheya.” He smiled down at me. “They refer to the demons. They now have a nycrops working for them so I had hoped they wouldn’t be after you anymore. Of course, you are too rare and valuable so they want your power.”
“You mean visions of the past and the power of suggestion?”
He nodded his head slowly as he looked ahead. “Is that all you know about the sheya?”
“l don’t think anyone really knows about sheya and what they are.. what they do… are there more that are sheya? Everyone thinks they are wiped out.”
“There are a few left but they have scattered and gone underground, Well, first off sheya don’t look any different than a regular human. Just like a witch looks like a normal person. It is the power they hold that sets them above.
Sheya are neutral creatures. They are neither good nor evil. They align with fairies and technically belong to their kingdom. All sheya have the ability to see the past.
Sometimes it just happens when they touch someone or something, but they can also force a vision. When they get better at controlling their abilities. The same thing goes with the power of suggestion. As your power grows you can reach more and more creatures at a time. These are their basic powers. Then there are unique skills depending on rank and bl00dline.” Demetri looked down at me studying my face.
“Your mother was the highest ranking sheya. A high priestess…” I watched as a soft smile reached his l!ps.
“Your mother was a great person. What happened.. was a tragedy. Both of your parents were great people, and the Chaos pack wasn’t evil. What happened to them wasn’t much different than what you say has happened with the Chance pack now.”
“The cave opens up just ahead. We will stop and rest there for today. We can’t go anywhere right now until the mess outside gets cleared up. They will send word when it is safe.” He then grinned, looking at my objecting face. “Don’t worry. Those wolves.. and Lycans will be just fine.” Okay he knew everything about everything. He was right, I was worried about my friends and Sion. How could | just rest safely inside of this cave?
“After we get situated, I will explain to you about what happened. It’s a sad story Clover. However, hopefully, it will have a happy ending.” Why do I feel that last part was about me?
The path opened up into a large stone room. Demetri sat me down and he reached into his leather strap and pulled out a lighter. He then walked over to the wall and lit a few torches. Okay… he has been here before. I watched as he walked to the far end and gathered wood in his arms. I arched my brow at this.
“We keep this place ready in case we need a safe refuge.” He answered, as if he could read my thoughts. Wait. maybe he could? Was he part sheya too and that was a skill. “I’m not a mind reader. Your face just gives it away.”
Okay. he weirds me out a bit. I walked over to a stone and sat down as he lit a fire. I still was trying to figure out if he was a mind reader or not.
“So, is your fur coarse or fine?” l said and listened to his rumbling laughter.
“Come and feel.”
“Really? I mean… you are fuzzy, and I am curious… “He began to laugh loudly at me. He walked over to where I was sitting, and | reached out to touch his surprisingly soft fluffy fur. “Okay, so how is this possible?!”
I retracted my hand back as he tucked his feet underneath him so he could lay down.
